There are a couple of main types of intercity trains in the Netherlands:
- Intercity Materieel (ICM):These are the classic electric intercity trains you might be familiar with. They’ve been around since the 1980s and come in single and double decker versions .
- Intercity Nieuwe Generatie (ICNG):These are the new kids on the block, having just been introduced in 2023. They’re single-deck trains designed for higher speeds and comfort .
There are also some less common types of intercity trains, like the Intercity Rijtuigen (ICR), which are basically carriages pulled by a locomotive.
